Information Systems (Op Sys Dev)

Abstract

This Project provides for the upgrade and modernization of fielded Information Systems. During this phase efforts will execute modernization, bug fixes, provide support at fielded locations, and maintain training and logistics support. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Global Biosurveillance Portal (G-BSP) (2) Joint Effects Model 2 (JEM 2), (3) Joint Warning and Reporting Network 2 (JWARN 2) (4) Software Support Activity (SSA) (5) Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Information Systems (CBRN IS) (6) Modernization Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Information Systems (MOD CBRN IS) The G-BSP program provides a web-based enterprise environment that facilitates collaboration, communication, and information sharing in support of the detection, management, and mitigation of man-made and naturally occurring biological events. G-BSP Provides a central access point for biosurveillance information and situational awareness for DoD, interagency and allied partners supporting the early identification and response to biological events. G-BSP provides an integrated suite of web-based components designed to support public health officers, environmental officers, clinicians, physicians, and CBRN personnel as they maintain their situational awareness of local, regional, and global biological threats to the force. G-BSP does not duplicate existing DoD capabilities, but rather leverages existing tools and technologies to provide users across multiple organizations and disciplines with a centralized "one-stop shop" for all of their biosurveillance resources. The G-BSP will transition to USSOCOM for sustainment in FY23. The JEM 2 program is a software application that provides the Department of Defense (DoD) with the only operationally tested and accredited tool to model and simulate the effects of CBRN weapon strikes and incidents that is approved for use by operational warfighters. JEM 2 applies advanced physics using weather, terrain, and agent characteristics to predict the time-phased impact of CBRN and Toxic Industrial Chemical/Material (TIC/TIM). JEM 2 displays hazard information on the Common Operational Picture (COP) and allows commanders to assess risk and take steps to mitigate the effects of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) on operational forces. The BA7 JEM 2 program will be moved into the BA7 MOD CBRN IS program starting in FY22. The JWARN 2 Program is a software application that provides the DoD with a warning and reporting system that enables an immediate and integrated response to threats of contamination by WMD, CBRN, and TIM incidents. JWARN 2 provides a digital display of CBRN reports on the COP, presented through Service-provided Command and Control systems resident at all echelons of command. Enhanced situational battlespace awareness provides Commanders the ability to support warfighter battle management and continuity of operations in a contaminated environment. The BA7 JWARN 2 program will be moved into the BA7 MOD CBRN IS program starting in FY22. The SSA program provides for enterprise services in the areas of software development, system/network architectures, cybersecurity, information Assurance, standards and policies and interoperability. The SSA emphasizes development of reference implementations to guide Government and industry system and software developers to ensure that their products meet risk management framework compliance and common interoperability standards such as the Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA). BA7 SSA efforts will be moved into the BA7 MOD CBRN IS program starting in FY22. The CBRN IS program provides a collaborative Cloud hosted environment that allows users to collect and disseminate CBRN warning and reporting data, provide detailed CBRN hazard predictions, aid in decision support, and make relevant CBRN defense information available in near-real time. CBRN IS provides an environment that supports the implementation of Integrated Early Warning (IEW) capabilities that allow users to access netted sensor information, data fusion, disease modeling, biosurveillance data, source term estimation data, incident management tools, and planning and analysis capabilities. The CBRN IS enterprise makes CBRN decision aids readily accessible from any desktop through a web browser simplifying interoperability, reducing integration and deployment costs and increases cybersecurity protection. The BA7 CBRN IS program will be moved into the BA7 MOD CBRN IS program starting in FY22. The MOD CBRN IS program allows for the management of the separate lines of effort which were CBRN IS, Joint Effects Model (JEM), Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) and the Software Support Activity (SSA) under one family of systems. MOD CBRN IS will provide for the continuous engineering and developmental efforts to modernize and conduct post production and deployment support to fielded CBRN software information systems and capabilities. This project supports software applications and information systems that help shape and inform the battlespace against CBRN threats. MOD CBRN IS encompasses the processes, procedures, people, material and information required to support and modernize fielded CBRN information systems and applications. Activities include: software code updates and modernization to correct deficiencies, comply with Joint and Service C2 system architectural changes, cybersecurity, test and evaluation, configuration management, software redistribution, documentation, and training.
